Jon E, the other stud you mention sounds to me like it has been screwed in a little to far in the past and into the water jacket of the block and hence rusted away. If the threads are ok in the block just put some Loctite or similar gasket sealer on the threads of the new stud. This will coat the stud and stop rusting away and also stop water leaking along the threads of the stud. I do this with all manifold and head studs whether leaking or not.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
